Please join us in congratulating the winners of the 2023 GRADflix competition!
On January 31, Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs hosted its fifth annual GRADflix Showcase, a hybrid red-carpet event featuring the 25 best 60-second videos made by graduate students to describe their research.
The Centre for Work-Integrated Learning is seeking 12-15 graduate students from various areas of study and programs (i.e., research-based Masters, course-based Masters, PhD) to participate in a 1-hour focus-group, to take place in late January or early February (date TBD based on student availability). We are seeking domestic and international students with previous experience in a work-integrated learning experience (e.g., co-op, internship, etc.), or those who are expecting to participate in the future, at the University of Waterloo.
Phone, text message, and web-based scams are on the rise in Canada
Fraudsters invent new schemes and strategies daily. It is vital that students learn how to identify illegitimate claims to protect themselves.
A recent scam involves thieves using automated phone messages in Mandarin to impersonate Chinese officials. These calls claim the recipient is linked to crimes in China. Using high-pressure techniques, fraudsters share false threats against the victim’s family, instruct them to move to a second location, demand large sums of cash, etc.
This introductory workshop is a requirement for participating in the Professional Skills Foundations program, a professional skills credential for graduate students at the University of Waterloo. Professional Skills Foundations is designed to offer master's and doctoral students the opportunity to develop and reflect on professional skills that will help them succeed in their program, secure a job, and thrive in their future workplace.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
